Happy Tuesday all!  A bit late today, but life got in the way so you know how that goes you deal with it!  My card today is not one you send with joy and happiness, but we should make a few to have on hand at such a time.

The card I am sharing today is from two stamp sets, Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Beauty Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Snow Front Stamp Set.  You need both these sets in your stash as there are so many options with these two sets.

My challenge for the day is with two challenges.

Just Us Girls — Frame It

And… Stamping Sensations   — Trees and/or Leaves and/or Autumn

 

This was one of those cards where you can not decide what the card base will be and you cut and emboss and each time come up with Nah, I don’t like that color with this.  Finally, you find one that you think does pretty well with the colors in the art piece.  The card base is Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Grape card stock with an embossed layer using the Stampin’ Up! Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder instead of embossing the card front.  This works best for me.

The art piece is a  square cropped using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Shapes Dies. It is also framed using another square of the same size. The art piece is a combination of Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Beauty Stamp Set and Stampin’ Up! Snow Front Stamp Set.  I stamped the trees first in Tuxedo Memento Black ink then added the grass and water using Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Pencils and a Stampin’ Up! Aqua Painter.

  I added little snippets of dried grass also stamped in black ink.  The mountains are stamped in Stampin’ Up! Smoky Slate ink.  Again, I used watercolor pencils for the sky. Stampin’ Up! Gingham Gala Adhesive-Backed Sequins are used on the card front randomly.  The greeting is stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink using the “Thinking of You” stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Colorful Seasons Stamp Set.

The inside sentiment is from Stampin’ Up! Flourishing Phrases Stamp Set and is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Grape ink on a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock.  Trees are stamped in the corners using Gorgeous Grape ink also.

I stamped trees in Gorgeous Grape ink on the front and the flap of my Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope.

Thank you for stopping by today.   I hope you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day.  My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself.
